In addition, 36,329,473 new Ordinary Shares (the "Interest Shares") have today been issued to Mr. Falih Nahab pursuant to the loan facility with Mr. Falih Nahab, details of which were most recently announced by the Company on 20 June 2023 (the "Falih Nahab Facility"). The Interest Shares have been issued in lieu of cash in satisfaction of approximately GBP1,998,121 of interest accrued under the Falih Nahab Facility for the six months ended 30 June 2023. As announced on 20 June 2023, it was envisaged that the Interest shares would be issued once or twice yearly in February and/or July of each year, however the Company was not able to issue the Interest Shares in July 2023 due to being in a closed period at the time. As the Company is no longer in a closed period, the Company now considers it appropriate to issue the Interest Shares in accordance with the terms of the Falih Nahab Facility.
